HALIFAX, May 27.-Extrsordinsry
precautions have lately been taken BY the
military authorities, which render admis-
sion to the citadel by ordinary citizens
more difficult than ever, while even those
supposed to have business there are ur-
der certain restrictions. No person,
whether Britieh subject or not, can OBJ
tain entrance unless holding pass from
the brigade office stating that there are
reasons for his or her admittance, and no
one whatever is to be allowed inside II the
visit Is out of mere curiosity. No foreign
er of Whatever nationality can be admit
ted unless he has special permit issued
by the War Office in London.
Even officers of the army stationed In
Halifax are not permitted to pass thu
gates If they happen to be dressed in plaiI
clothing and without the necessary pass
A commuDication from the home authori
ties this week contained orders that thest
new rules were to be enforced with th'
greatest strictness. The reason for tht
measures taken to so vigorously exclude
the public is said to be because news
paper correspondents shave been grante'
SO much freedom insiue the citadel In ths
past that they have been enabled tt
give minute descriptions of the works
guns, etc., and this the authorities do no
appreciate.

"Why, Mr. Smith. how do you do? It has
been so long since i saw you down at Alton
that had almost forgotten you." said a conf
dence man, stepping up to Jones' who was rather
a rustic-looking man, and shaking him warmly
by the hand.

Jones, my name is Brown, and I'm from James
Vile"
90 beg pardon. You look so much like
my old friend Smith that could have sworn
that it was he." Aud number one walked

he was accosted by number two.

+" My dear sir, you are mistaken. I'm not

Brown, and am so anxious 10 see him"
Number two passes quietly out OF sight and

Thus number three passed on, and when the
trio came TO compare notes resolved unani-
mously that they had struck the wrong
man.
